Over the years we have trained, grown, competed and become better people thanks to Mach Martial Arts. My family and I will always remember and cherish the many Summer camps, holiday parties, jump rope competitions, board breaking competitions, family runs, black belt and year end celebrations and countless demonstrations.. TKD is not just a sport. A Black Belt is not just a rank. Mach Martial Arts is not JUST a training center.  – John Lengyel

One year Master Sungwoo told the students about his family tradition for Mother’s Day, which was to show respect to mothers in his family by washing their feet. My daughter came home and wanted to do that for me and her grandmother. It was the sweetest thing! – Jennifer Curry (Mother of Riley Curry)

I always tell people you send your child to mach martial arts to learn excellent taekwondo and it’s teachings by an exceptional teacher. and if you decide like my son did, that you want to compete at the very top, master sungwoo is capable of taking you there. julian is not the only champion taught by master sungwoo. there are countless, so many others from mach and that fact alone is remarkable.  – hahna Chang (mother)
